Problem

• bun test --isolate ./sub ./sub/b.test.ts runs sub/b.test.ts twice and reports Ran 2 tests across 2 files. --parallel does the same.
• bun test ./sub . and bun test ../ skip every test under the cwd and exit 0.
• Cause, in src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs: no push site checks whether test_files already has the path. scan walks a cached directory listing only for the first argument (has_iterated).

Fix

• The scanner keeps a set of the paths it has listed. Both push sites go through push_test_file, which skips a path in the set. The run order does not change.
• read_dir_with_name walks a listing itself when the resolver did not call the iterator (iterator_invoked). has_iterated is gone.
• Verified: test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts, 18 new cases, 15 fail on main 5c6d4e2. The notes list the other suites.

Background

• bun test treats its positionals as paths when one starts with ./, ../ or /. Each goes through Scanner::scan, which appends to one test_files list.
• The resolver caches every directory listing. On a cache hit it does not call the scanner's next. The cwd and its ancestors are in the cache before the scanner runs.
• --isolate and --parallel load every entry of the list in a fresh module registry, so a repeated entry runs again.

Downsides

• For each test file found: one insert of its path into a hash set. For each directory read: one bool store and one branch. Binary: 256 more bytes of text in a linux-x64 release build.
• The scanner walks each path argument on its own. It opens a directory that N arguments reach up to N times. The note N files were searched counts the entries of that directory N times: bun test . ./sub prints 8 for 5 entries (main: 5).
• Two spellings that differ only in case, or by a symlink, still list the file twice. A realpath would fold them at one syscall for each test file.

Notes

Probes with the debug build, a.test.ts, sub/b.test.ts and sub/deep/c.test.ts present:

command	before	after
bun test --isolate ./sub ./sub/b.test.ts	b twice	b, c, 2 files
bun test --isolate ./sub/b.test.ts ./sub	b twice	b, c, 2 files
bun test ./sub/b.test.ts sub/b.test.ts	header twice, 1 test across 2 files	1 test across 1 file
bun test sub/b.test.ts sub/../sub/b.test.ts ./sub	b three times	b, c
bun test ./sub .	b, c (a skipped)	b, c, a
bun test ../ from proj/sub (p.test.ts in proj)	p only	p, b, c
bun test ./sub ./sub	b, c	b, c
bun test . .	a, b, c	a, b, c

iterator_invoked is needed because read_directory_with_iterator returns the entries after a fresh read too. Walking them again would queue every subdirectory a second time. With one argument no listing is walked twice. The tree below (5 entries) gives 5 files were searched with ./, the same as main, and with ../ from sub. Main prints 2 for that ../, because it does not walk the cwd.

The scanner walks each path argument on its own, so it walks a directory that two arguments share twice. The later argument gets the listing of that directory from the resolver cache. walk_cached_entries calls next for every entry again. next queues every subdirectory again, and scan opens it again. The run list does not change: push_test_file and Entry::abs_path skip a file that is already listed. Each extra argument adds three things:

• One openat for every directory that it finds again in a listing (open_dir_at in Scanner::scan).
• One copy of the path of that directory into DirnameStore (dirname_store.append_slice in Scanner::scan).
• One more count in search_count for every shared directory and every shared file that is not listed (Scanner::next). The note N files were searched prints that number, and only when no test file is found.

Numbers for proj/plain.ts, proj/sub/plain.ts and proj/sub/deep/other.ts (3 files, 2 directories, no test file), cwd proj. Main is 367d939. The count is from the note. The opens are inotify IN_OPEN events on sub/deep, because strace is not installed on the machine that ran this.

command	count, main	count, this PR	opens of sub/deep, main	opens of sub/deep, this PR
bun test ./sub	3	3	1	1
bun test ./sub .	3	8	1	2
bun test . ./sub	5	8	1	2
bun test ./sub ./sub	3	6	1	2
bun test ./sub ./sub ./sub	3	9	1	3
bun test ./ ./ ./	5	15	1	3

Main's 3 for ./sub . is the count for ./sub alone, because main does not walk . there. For arguments that do not overlap, the note counts each entry once, the same as main (bun test ./a ./b).

The count stays as it is. The note has one print site (test_command.rs), and no doc or test names the number. It counts scanner visits, directories included. One argument can already visit an entry twice: with proj/link as a symlink to sub, bun test ./ prints 9 for 6 entries on main and on this PR. A set of walked listings in the scanner would stop the second walk. That adds one hash insert for each directory on every run. #44017 also counts the matches of each argument through the second walk.

--parallel with more than one file forwards worker output through the coordinator's stderr, so the test counts RAN b in stdout plus stderr. The file header uses the platform separator, so the test matches it with sep.

parallel.test.ts has one timing-dependent case (each worker has a unique JEST_WORKER_ID) that fails on a loaded machine with and without this change. It passed on two of three reruns.

History: the first push listed a file once and kept has_iterated. Review found ./sub . and the second push removed the flag. Review then found ../, which needs the walk for queued directories too, and the Windows header separator. The third push did both. On Oct 27 a report showed the count for overlapping arguments. No code changed: the description now states what overlapping arguments cost and print.

Related to #43359. That issue came from a review, not from a user report, and is closed for that reason.

Merged main 5c6d4e2 into this branch (Oct 23). One conflict, in Scanner::next: main fills Entry::abs_path through abs_path_or_fill, and this PR pushes the file through push_test_file. The merge keeps both. With the src/ of main, 15 of the 18 cases of this PR fail. On this branch bun-test.test.ts passes (127 tests), and so do pass-with-no-tests.test.ts, path-ignore-patterns.test.ts, test-shard.test.ts, isolation.test.ts, test-changed.test.ts, and regression/issue/26851.test.ts. parallel.test.ts: 46 pass, and the timing-dependent case above failed in one of four runs.

Size (size, text, linux-x64 release build of each commit): main 107,635,854 bytes, this branch 107,636,110.

The account of this PR before the merge:

• Scanner::scan pushes a file argument into test_files in its ENOTDIR branch, and Scanner::next pushes each file of a directory. Neither checks whether the list already has the path.
• The resolver lists the cwd and its ancestors before the scanner runs. A cached listing is returned without the per-entry callback. scan walked it only for the root argument, only once per run (has_iterated), and never for a queued subdirectory.
• Paths on both push sites are the normalized absolute path, so sub/../sub/b.test.ts collapses too. That is the same key the resolver cache uses.
• A file an earlier argument listed is skipped by next (its abs_path is set) and by the set.

Walkthrough

Scanner deduplicates discovered test paths and processes cached directory entries when the resolver does not invoke the iterator. Parameterized tests cover overlapping path arguments across three execution modes.

Changes

Test file scan deduplication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deduplicated scanner discovery src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs	Root and traversed files use deduplicating insertion. Cached directory entries are sorted and processed when the resolver does not invoke the iterator.
Duplicate selection coverage test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts	Parameterized tests check that selected files run once, summaries report expected counts, and commands exit successfully in default, --isolate, and --parallel modes.

Suggested reviewers: alii

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2db4a

Overlapping test selections avoid duplicate files, but still repeat directory traversal. Cached-entry collection also needs a localized locking correction; no discovery-time crash has been established. These are bounded concerns suitable for owner-aware follow-up.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs — Users who pass a directory and then . (bun test ./sub .) still get only sub's tests; every test file directly under the cwd and in its other subdirectories is silently skipped and the run exits 0. The cause is the process-wide has_iterated flag at Scanner.rs:182: the first scan("./sub") sets it true in next() (Scanner.rs:350), so when scan(".") hits the cwd listing that run_env_loader already cached, the cached-entries branch is skipped and nothing is queued. The PR's claim that a directory given twice is safe relies on that same flag. Fix: dedup per path (the new seen_test_files set already makes re-walking cached entries harmless), so drop the !has_iterated gate or track "already walked" per directory instead of globally.

  Extended reasoning...

  The finder marked this pre_existing without checking whether the PR's own mechanism now makes the guard unnecessary. I opened the base file (git show 367d939:src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs): the branch is identical there, so the misbehaviour exists on base too, but the reason the flag exists (avoid pushing the cwd's files twice when the user types . after it was already walked) is exactly what push_test_file at Scanner.rs:133-143 now solves by content. Trigger: cwd has a.test.ts and sub/b.test.ts; env behavior is the default, so run_env_loader (src/bundler/transpiler.rs:790, self.resolver.read_dir_info(top_level_dir)) caches the cwd listing before the scanner runs. bun test ./sub . → scan("./sub") misses the cache, readdir calls next() for each entry, has_iterated = true, b.test.ts pushed. scan(".") → read_dir_with_name(top_level_dir) returns the cached EntriesOption::Entries (resolver/lib.rs:1256) without calling the iterator; line 182 !self.has_iterated is false, so the sorted-entries loop at 194-205 never runs; dirs_to_scan stays empty;…

  Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: bun test <dir> . (or ./, $PWD, any directory the resolver already listed before the scanner ran) where the first positional is a directory and cwd has its own test files or other subdirectories. Mechanism verified in the code: - test_command.rs:1961 vm.transpiler.configure_defines() runs before Scanner::init (line 2018); transpiler.rs:591 calls run_env_loader,…

[robobun]

Addressed the review findings:

• bun test ./sub . skipped the cwd tests because of the has_iterated flag. Confirmed on main. 1de8141 removes the flag. The dedup set makes a second walk of a cached listing safe, and the test table now has ./sub . and . ./sub.
• The tests now run each argument pair in the default mode, --isolate and --parallel.
• Case and symlink aliases of the same file are not folded. The set keys on the absolute path the scanner builds, the same key the resolver cache uses. A realpath per test file is a stat for every file in the tree. Left as is.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs — pre-existing: a user who names an ancestor of the cwd (bun test ../, or its absolute path) gets a run that silently omits every test file in the cwd and exits 0. The cached-entries walk added at Scanner.rs:182-195 only covers the root argument; the FIFO loop at Scanner.rs:222-224 calls read_dir_with_name and drops the result, so a subdirectory the resolver already cached is never iterated. The cwd and all its ancestors are cached before the scanner runs. Fix: when read_dir_with_name at Scanner.rs:222 returns EntriesOption::Entries for a queued directory, walk those entries the same way the root walk does (factor the sorted walk into a helper used at both sites), so a cached directory is listed wherever it appears in the scan.

  Extended reasoning...

  resolver.rs:4218 dir_info_cached_miss walks from the filesystem root down to the requested directory and, at resolver.rs:4577-4596, reads each ancestor's listing into rfs.entries (needs_iter → readdir → put). The base's own comment on this block says the cwd is read this way before the scanner runs, and the default bun test relies on that cached branch. EntriesOptionMap is BSSMapInner<_, 2048, true> (lib.rs:964) so trailing-slash spellings hash to the same key (bun_alloc/lib.rs:2231). User runs bun test .. from /proj/sub. test_command.rs:2026 sees ../ so the argument is a path; scan("..") joins to /proj. read_dir_with_name(/proj) hits the cache at lib.rs:1243-1256 and returns the cached Entries without invoking the iterator. The walk at Scanner.rs:190-193 calls next() for each child: /proj's own test files are pushed; the sub entry is a Dir and is queued into dirs_to_scan at Scanner.rs:377. The loop at Scanner.rs:197 pops sub, opens it, and calls read_dir_with_name(/proj/sub, Some(fd)) at Scanner.rs:222. /proj/sub is cached from the dir_info walk, so lib.rs:1256…

  Verification: pre-existing — the base branch already drops the cwd's tests by this exact route; the PR touches the same scan() function and the same cached-entries mechanism but does not change the FIFO loop. Trigger: the user names an ancestor of the cwd as a path argument (bun test ../ or an absolute path to the parent; note bun test .. alone is NOT treated as a path — test_command.rs:2025-2030 only…

Merged main (5c6d4e2) into this branch. The PR merges clean again.

• One conflict, in Scanner::next: main fills Entry::abs_path through abs_path_or_fill, and this PR pushes the file through push_test_file. The merge keeps both.
• The bug is still on main. With the src/ of main 5c6d4e2, 15 of the 18 cases of this PR fail. On this branch bun-test.test.ts passes (127 tests).
• The PR body has the other suites, the per-call costs, and the size (256 more bytes of text in a linux-x64 release build).
• bun test: report each path argument that selects no test file and exit 1 #44017 is stacked on this branch and has this merge too.

[robobun]

The description now states what this PR does when path arguments overlap. No code changed.

• The scanner walks each path argument on its own. The run list is not affected: the 18 overlap cases of this PR pass on this branch merged with main c643ea8.
• When no test file is found, the note N files were searched counts a shared entry once for each argument. bun test . ./sub prints 8 for a tree of 5 entries (main: 5), and bun test ./sub ./sub prints 6 (main: 3). The notes in the description have the full table.
• The number has no contract: one print site (src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs), no doc, no test. On main one argument already counts an entry twice through a directory symlink: bun test ./ prints 9 for 6 entries.
• A set of walked listings in the scanner would stop the second walk. It costs one hash insert for each directory on every run, and bun test: report each path argument that selects no test file and exit 1 #44017 counts the matches of each argument through the second walk. The scanner stays as it is. If a maintainer wants each entry counted once, I can add the set to this PR.

Merged main (37a5e3a) into this branch. The PR merges clean again.

• One conflict, in src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs. resolver: Entry::kind and Entry::symlink take &RealFS and are safe #47250 makes Entry::kind a safe function that takes &RealFS, and passes the directory iterator by reference. walk_cached_entries now calls self.next(&self.fs().fs, ..), read_dir_with_name passes &iter, and next uses the rfs that it gets.
• The 18 overlap cases of this PR pass on a debug build of this merge. That build also had bundler: bind exports in a CommonJS wrapper that prints lifted exports #46565, Bun shell: use the passwd home for ~ when HOME is unset #43202 and resolver: probe fixed names in ancestor directories instead of listing them #47126 merged in.
• In the full bun-test.test.ts run on that build, 9 tests timed out at 5 s. Seven are process.on('exit') listeners tests, and they pass when they run alone. Two are the deep-print RangeError tests, which also fail on a debug build of main.

Merged main (9fe1cd6) into this branch. The old head was b4dc1bd, the new head is 2db4afe.

• One conflict, in Scanner::read_dir_with_name (src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs). Remove 128 unsafe blocks from the test runner and the CLI #47382 removed ScannerDirIter: Scanner implements DirEntryIterator itself and is passed to read_directory_with_iterator. This branch resets iterator_invoked before that call and walks a cached listing after it. The merge keeps both.
• The diff of this PR against main changed in that one call only: the iterator argument is now self, and was &iter.

Checked on the merged tree (Linux x64, debug build with ASAN):

• bun-test.test.ts: 127 pass. The 18 cases of this PR pass. On a release build of an older main (367d939), 15 of the 18 fail.
• pass-with-no-tests.test.ts, path-ignore-patterns.test.ts, test-shard.test.ts, isolation.test.ts, test-changed.test.ts and regression/issue/26851.test.ts pass.
• parallel.test.ts: 46 pass and 1 fail in the full run. The failure is the timing-dependent case that the description names ("each worker has a unique JEST_WORKER_ID and BUN_TEST_WORKER_ID"). Run alone, it passes in 3 of 3 runs.
• Not run: Windows and macOS.

Skip directories that an earlier scan already walked.

When ./, ../, or absolute arguments overlap, each later argument re-opens and re-queues every subdirectory in the cached subtree. scan opens each queued directory before it checks the cached listing (src/runtime/cli/test/Scanner.rs:173-198). next queues directories without a visited check (Scanner.rs:373). Record scanned directory paths and skip repeats.

On the follow-up about skipping directories an earlier argument already walked: not taken. It only applies when a user gives two overlapping directory arguments, and the cost is one openat per directory of the overlap, with the listing served from the cache. The PR body already states this. A visited set per directory adds a hash insert to every scan for that rare case.
